These ideas are possible guides in managing emotions and dealing with people and situations.
I'm expressing my understanding, but everything here was influenced by others. For example, non-judgment, non-attachment, and non-resistance are inspired by Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth. And Tolle himself acknowledges he did not originate the ideas.
Each of these non-commandments warrants further elaboration. Think about these things, or don't.
Non-judgment. The Biblical quotes "Judge not by appearances" and "Judge not, lest ye be judged" are pertinent. To look down on another for apparent flaws in morals, habits, intellect, looks, physical fitness, or whatever is to permit others more virtuous, intelligent, and better-looking to look down on you.
Non-attachment. There are no "if onlys." "If only she'll say yes, if only my party wins the election, if only I had a new car then I'll be happy." Your thoughts, and only your thoughts, determine how you perceive the world; your thoughts create your reality. Seeing good in the world will allow you to see more good in the world.
Non-resistance. You have nothing to judge and nothing to lose, and therefore nothing to fear. You have no cause to return evil for evil; that just creates more evil. Building walls (literal and emotional) to protect your home or your happiness will drain your resources and energy and stymie your freedom and creativity.
Non-conformity. Many of our tastes, values, and desires are conditioned by our families, communities, and broader culture, but never in identical ways. There is no certain way you need to act or dress to "belong" or feel loved. You are free to be "weird." You're free to do whatever you want. Accept yourself.
Non-aggression. Do not use force - violence or the threat of violence - to get your way. Do not consent to politicians passing laws that force others to do or behave as you would like.
Non-coercion. Do not exert power over physically or financially weaker people by taking away their options and choices so that they can only "consent" to do what you would have them do. Do not use politics or other means to deny freedom to others.
Non-intervention. It is good to provide help when asked, and it is good to offer help. But don't assume your services will be needed or appreciated if they weren't requested or accepted. We're not here to solve other people's problems; we could be wrong as to what their problems truly are. This circles back to non-judgment.
Non-compliance. You are under no moral or ethical obligation to accede to demands you did not consent to and do not agree with. You might choose to comply due to the threat of force, the threat of arrest and imprisonment, but compliance isn't a matter of conscience.
Non-dualism. Only Existence exists and nothing exists outside of it. Whether Existence is called just that, or God, or the Universe, or Source, consciousness and the energy that manifests into physical reality are one and the same. We are all one and to love oneself is to love each other and the whole of existence.
Non-belief. I know that which I don't have to think about, such as my bed can be found in my bedroom. What I believe is what I've been told which I accept as true, but belief doesn't have the unconscious certainty of knowledge. Much of what I've been told, I've also believed. But over time, there are things I have been told that I no longer believe. There is no person, institution, or source that you must believe all the time. They could be wrong. If something rings false to you, you don't have to believe it or pretend you do just to conform. Remember, you don't have to conform and would be happier if you didn't.
